i was thinking maybe an 04-05 g35 in the 80k-100k mileage range...because i've always wanted one

06-07ish Civic...because they seem to be reliable, and good on gas mileage, while still being sporty...

04 maxima or maybe 05-06 altima

i just picked these choices based on some quick scans of used car sites....

does anyone have any other suggestions or anything i should look out for in these cars?

civic is not sportg35 with 100k i wouldnt, find something with 70kish miles, you will for 14k, i bought my 540i with 60k for 5k, it is older but it will last and was taken care of

what you need to find more is a one owner car more than a good deal, single owner typically takes care of the car more than anyone else since they paid a shitload for it from the factory brand new, know what i mean?

Why not go for like an old 240 you could get for like a couple grand and beef it up a lot and still save a couple grand. if any problems then you still have that couple grand to spare to buy whatever needs to be fixed

get a car that had only one owner, you know for sure gives great gas mileage and you know will be able to support you for he next three years. i wud suggest ap1/2 but theres really no space for anything else.

I'd avoid the MY02-05 WRX like the plague. The engine and tranmissions failure are usually common, and the ABS system is plain garbage. If you can scrap together a little bit more, I'd recommend buying a cheap Impreza L roller and do a USDM STi swap with 6 speed and r180s.
